Topic: Causes and effect of long waiting in NSW hospital’s emergency department
1. Introduction
The long waiting queues in the NSW hospital’s emergency department have significantly
affected the health of the patients while waiting for a proper attention (Yarmohammadian et al.,
2017). On the other hand, the lack of professionals in addressing the needs of the patients and
lack of suitable resources affected the capabilities of the hospital in adhering to the healthcare
needs of the critical patients. Overcrowding in the emergency department affected the
capabilities of the hospital staff and doctors in adhering to the needs of the patients (Lutze et al.,
2014). Therefore, the development of the operations in the emergency department is based on
the crowd management and the induction of professional staffs in the department.
1.1 Statement of the problem
The problem that will be evaluated in the study will be based on identifying the cause and
effect of the degrading service quality and lack of professional approach on handling patients in
the emergency department.
1.2 Research aim

queues in the NSW hospital’s emergency department.
